How do you move this file from one drive to another?

Hi, Brian.

You don't actually "move" the file. You just have Windows create it on a
different drive next time.

Follow the steps in my other message in this thread. Then set it to have No
paging file on every drive except the one where you want it. Don't forget
to click Set for each one. Specify a size or System managed size for the
one drive where you do want it, click Set and OK your way out. Then reboot.

When Win2K reboots, it will create the new page file where you specified.
Then you can delete the file from the other drive. Remember that it is
System and Hidden, so you'll have to deal with those attributes. The
current file should be dated as of your latest reboot; others will have
earlier times.
